USD72.6 billion, output value expectation of China's fermentation industry by 2015

Insecticide"The output value of China's fermentation industry is expected to reach USD72.6 billion by 2015," said Mr. Du, Vice Chairman/Secretary-General of China Biotech Fermentation Industry Association (CBFIA), at a meeting held by CBFIA on 8-9 Dec. 2011 in Beijing City about China's biotech fermentation and relevant industry. He also disclosed some other goals and expectations in detail, as well as the development direction of China's fermentation industry in the next four years.

Normally, fermentation industry includes amino acids, starch sugar, polyalcohol, organic acids, enzymic preparations, yeast and other fermentation products with special functions, like isomalto-oligosaccharide, most of which have enjoyed better development in 2011 over 2010, and the total output of some key fermentation products rose by 12.5% during the first eight months of 2011 over the same period of 2010. In the mean time, the total export volume of key fermentation products increased by 21% to 1.83 million tonnes with their export value amounting to USD2.1 billion, up 24% year on year. Specifically, export volumes of enzymic preparations, starch sugar and glutamic acid witnessed an incredible increase, while those of lactic acid and yeast rose stably, but lysine's and polyalcohol's suffered a decrease due to their booming domestic demand.

More importantly, it's predicted that China's fermentation industry will still enjoy great prospect in the next four years: the average annual growth rate of its output can reach 15% from 2012 to 2015, which will amount to 30 million tonnes by 2015; the output value is expected to be USD72.6 billion. However, China won't be only obsessed with pell-mell development. Instead, it wants the industry to develop healthily and scientifically. So Mr. Du pointed out some development directions of the fermentation industry in the next four years.
